It was an afternoon filled with memorizing lines, finding the perfect angle, prepping our gorgeous model home, and soaking up the sun while filming down at the Boat Club’s private dock.

Randy took to the spotlight like a total natural, delivering lines perfect the first time around, which shed light on how much passion and care he has towards this new development. Our production team was a complete breeze to work with and their professionalism and forward thinking proved what pros we were working alongside. Needless to say, we think the commercials are a complete success.

Check out our commercial below and, of course, stop by in person to see what a luxury waterfront lifestyle the Boat Club has to offer.

It’s all about the right amount of space you truly use. This home is built small, but lives large with an efficient use of space, open main floor rooms and thoughtfully designed storage.

Renaissance Homes loves to build more than beautiful homes, we also love building a strong team. When there are so many elements that go into your beautiful new home—purchasing land, designing floorplans and interiors, construction, and selling the home—it is important that we work together and communicate as a team. That being said, what better way to have team bonding than a competitive and fun scrabble night in one of our stunning model homes, the Century at Wilsonville Boat Club!

Your Renaissance Team put on our game faces and had quite the match-off in a high intensity game of Blitz Scrabble. A midst playful banter and healthy competition, we all embraced our inner Spelling Bee Champs and got our spelling on. While there was one team that was victorious (even if a few words were questionable as to whether or not they were Webster Dictionary approved) it is easy to say that we all won that night; laughing and getting to know coworkers takes the cake of prizes.

To us, it is important to not just build a home, but to enjoy ourselves the whole time. The best work comes from individuals driven by passion and a love towards what they do and who they do it with. We hope that when you first walk into your new home you feel the same joy that we have had creating it, as a team, for you. Cheers from your Scrabble-bonding Renaissance Team.
